Thanks for the info. There are a few channels On Sirius that are not
available via their Internet service, will double check. I do stream
several radio stations via the phone but switch to Siruis at time. It also
saves on data costs. One would think someone would come up with a way to
do it. With the app "Radio Cloud", the need for a car radio is getting
less and less.
